# RobustScaler¶

class ibex.sklearn.preprocessing.RobustScaler(with_centering=True, with_scaling=True, quantile_range=(25.0, 75.0), copy=True)

Bases: sklearn.preprocessing.data.RobustScaler, ibex._base.FrameMixin

Note

The documentation following is of the class wrapped by this class. There are some changes, in particular:

Scale features using statistics that are robust to outliers.

This Scaler removes the median and scales the data according to the quantile range (defaults to IQR: Interquartile Range). The IQR is the range between the 1st quartile (25th quantile) and the 3rd quartile (75th quantile).

Centering and scaling happen independently on each feature (or each sample, depending on the axis argument) by computing the relevant statistics on the samples in the training set. Median and interquartile range are then stored to be used on later data using the transform method.

Standardization of a dataset is a common requirement for many machine learning estimators. Typically this is done by removing the mean and scaling to unit variance. However, outliers can often influence the sample mean / variance in a negative way. In such cases, the median and the interquartile range often give better results.

New in version 0.17.

Read more in the User Guide.

with_centering : boolean, True by default
If True, center the data before scaling. This will cause transform to raise an exception when attempted on sparse matrices, because centering them entails building a dense matrix which in common use cases is likely to be too large to fit in memory.
with_scaling : boolean, True by default
If True, scale the data to interquartile range.
quantile_range : tuple (q_min, q_max), 0.0 < q_min < q_max < 100.0

Default: (25.0, 75.0) = (1st quantile, 3rd quantile) = IQR Quantile range used to calculate scale_.

New in version 0.18.

copy : boolean, optional, default is True
If False, try to avoid a copy and do inplace scaling instead. This is not guaranteed to always work inplace; e.g. if the data is not a NumPy array or scipy.sparse CSR matrix, a copy may still be returned.
center_ : array of floats
The median value for each feature in the training set.
scale_ : array of floats

The (scaled) interquartile range for each feature in the training set.

New in version 0.17: scale_ attribute.

robust_scale: Equivalent function without the estimator API.

sklearn.decomposition.PCA
Further removes the linear correlation across features with ‘whiten=True’.
